The objective of this study was to determine the latent profiles of reading and language skills that characterized 7,752 students in kindergarten through tenth grade and to relate the profiles to norm-referenced reading outcomes. Reading and language skills were assessed with a computer-adaptive assessment administered in the middle of the year and reading outcome measures were administered at the end of the year. Three measures of reading comprehension were administered in third through tenth grades to create a latent variable. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted on the reading and language measures and related to reading outcomes in multiple regression analyses. Within-grade multiple regressions were subjected to a linear step-up correction to guard against false-discovery rate. LPA results revealed five to six profiles in the elementary grades and three in the secondary grades that were strongly related to standardized reading outcomes, with average absolute between-profile effect sizes ranging from 1.10 to 2.53. The profiles in the secondary grades followed a high, medium, and low pattern. Profiles in the elementary grades revealed more heterogeneity, suggestive of strategies for differentiating instruction.

The Phonograms' Genuine-Character Status: What the Embedded Semantic Radicals' Semantic Activation Live by.
Brain Behav

School of English Studies, Sichuan International Studies University, Chongqing, China.
Background: In Chinese phonogram processing studies, it is widely accepted that both character and non-character semantic radicals could be semantically activated. However, little attention was paid to the underlying workings that enabled the semantic radicals' semantic activation.
Purpose: The present study aimed to address the above issue by conducting two experiments.
Background Over the past decade, transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) has revolutionized the diagnosis of deep endometriosis. We can now accurately describe and evaluate lesions in multiple compartments of the pelvis, increasing diagnostic capacity without the need for initial laparoscopy. Recent consensus and publications support the new and growing evidence for this technique.

Exp Brain Res
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.
Tachistoscopic studies have established a right field advantage for the perception of visually presented words, which has been interpreted as reflecting a left hemispheric specialization. However, it is not clear whether this is driven by the linguistic task of word processing, or also occurs when processing properties such as the style and regularity of text. We had 23 subjects perform a tachistoscopic study while they viewed five-letter words in either computer font or handwriting.
